Strikes on Iran to increase this week -- Israel's defense minister

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has said that attacks against Iran by his country and the US will be ramped up this week.

"This week, the intensity of the strikes to be carried out by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and the US military against the Iranian terror regime and the infrastructure on which it relies will rise significantly," Katz said.

…

His remarks came shortly after US President Donald Trump said he was thinking about "winding down" the offensive against Iran.

They can’t squander their golden opportunity. So the war must continue with the US on the hook.

This should strike terror in the hearts of Iranians everywhere, including those celebrating in L.A. - though I suspect the celebrations have ended. Those poor people actually believed this was about freeing Iranians from their regime... like people thought Trump would bring peace...

Iran hit Israel with a missile today (casualties) and the Houthis might join the fight. Iran is issuing evacuation messages to gulf states now too.
